The first day of summer (on or about June 21 in the Northern Hermisphere) is the longest day of the year, meaning the most hours of sunlight. From there, each day is a little bit shorter until you come to the shortest day, the first day of winter (on or about December 21). Then they start getting longer again.
The first day of summer is called the Summer Solstice, and the first day of winter is called the Winter Solstice.
The longest day of the year is June 21 in the UK.
The word solstice refers to two times of the year when the sun is at its highest and lowest point in the sky at noon. These are the longest and shortest days of the year and it happens on the first day of winter and the first day of summer.

On average, the seasons have the same number of days. The number of days in a year cannot be evenly divided into the 4 seasons, so, each year, one season will have one more day than the other three. But this is not the same season every year, and, on average, the number of days is the same for all seasons.
